For the second year in a row, Easter Sunday at Faith Church will look and feel different. The excitement and joy of gathering as a church community to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection will be muted, as we remain largely dispersed for worship. To start our service with as much joy as possible, we’d like to share your video greetings. People of all ages and circumstances, you are invited to record yourself and send your video to Pastor Cara by Wednesday, March 31. Film yourself by your front door or on your porch. Happy Easter! Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed. Creativity is welcome, but not required we just want to see your faces and hear your voices!

What a great last two days at Kids Discovery Camp!! On day 3 we learned, Jesus has the Power to comfort while climbing Mount Everest. Today we were in a cave discovering, Jesus gives us direction. It was such a joy to see the kids each day!!

Kids Discovery Camp has been sooo much fun this week!! On day 1 we learned that, When we worry...Jesus rescues and on day 2, When life is good...God is good. Here are some of the highlights from the last two days....

Getting ready for online Kids Discovery Camp next week. Excited to connect and share Jesus's love with about 25 kids!
